Today’s forecast calls for more new streaming anime announcements from Crunchyroll, and the first of the lot is Pupa, based on the manga by Sayaka Motegi. Originally slated for the fall 2013 season, this tale of "the ultimate love of the brother and sister" is set to broadcast every Thursday starting on January 9, at 12:30p.m. Pacific Time for its premium members, with free members able to watch one week later. More information can be found on www.crunchyroll.com/pupa.
Story and background
Based on a manga series written and illustrated by Sayaka Mogi, Pupa tells the story of a brother and sister who both become infected by a virus that transforms the sister, Yume, into a flesh eating monster when hungry, and giving the brother, Utsutsu, superhuman healing and regenerative powers. In a relationship where one takes and the other can give, thus begins the story of Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa…
Originally scheduled to be released last year, Pupa finally makes its debut from Studio DEEN, also known for works like MEGANEBU! and Rurouni Kenshin, with direction by Tomomi Mochizuki. Nobunaga Shimasaki, Satoru Furuya in Ace of the Diamond and Shinnosuke Aikawa in Silver Spoon, plays the protective older brother Utsutsu, and Ibuki Kido, Kasumi Shinomiya in GJ Club and Chinami Oka from Golden Time, stars as the younger sister Yume.
Pupa will be available to Crunchyroll’s audience in the following territories: USA, Canada, and Latin America.
